Applications

This application is very useful if you want to run a route finder, e.g. Tomtom, as well as logging the route in another application.

If any application is having problems handling the volume of GPS data, e.g. on a slow PDA, then it can be filtered to only include the essential GPS data and to only pass it on at given intervals.

The 'GPS in browser' bookmarklet [1] reportedly works with OpenStreetMap. Whether that means it works with any OpenLayers powered slippy map is not clear. Also this forum post suggests that it doesn't work, but that we might change our homepage to enable it somehow.
